The wait is finally over. I love this album. I love it with the heat of a thousand fires. Clay's voice just shines and the production is absolutely amazing. I'm so proud of Clay and hope that everyone gets to hear his beautiful voice.

I've learned so much about CD's and everything involved with putting one out since I became a Claymate and started reading fan boards. I used to just buy an album and love it - or not. Now I hear violins, pianos, background details that totally eluded me before. I now know how important "when" you purchase and where. Who knew??? Apparently a lot of people.

Okay, I'm a good fan - not catching me buying in Costco or waiting until week 2. Hee! I'm part of Aiken's Army and I bought my 8 and spread around the spoils. Totally excited to make my first purchase from ITunes! Woo Hoo!! It worked and Canadians got the bonus track!! Unbelievable!!! And what a bonus track it is - probably the best song amoung a group of fantastic songs.

All the drought - over - we have an embarassment of riches in appearances for the object of our afffection and I am wallowing in it.

Clay - thank you for this gift! I cherish it.
